About Me


Philosophy:

- I love dogs (more than people).

- My name is Sandra Bavasso Roffo and I am living in the US but I am originally from Bs. As., Argentina (what explains my weird English grammar).

- According to others, I am pretty intelligent (but pretty impacient).

- I don't care what people think about me (therefore I am not always "politically correct")

- I may see the world different than you do (but I am always curious to know why people see the world as they see it).

- I love Communications (my "official" field, I have a BS in Social Communications with a Major in Advertising and Public Opinion), psychology and sociology. I believe that with a good knowledge of those 3 plus economy and common sense, you can explain almost everything that is happening or had happened in the world.

- I am not good at lying but still I manage to be a pretty decent poker player.

- I love my friends but I prefer to have just a few ones.

- I enjoy good design and outrageous ideas.

- My native language is Spanish, but as you can see my English is not bad at all. I also know some French even if I haven't practiced it in a long, looong time (quelques annes deja!). I do understand Italian and at some point I would love to start studying German again. Would love to learn Chinese but I am not sure I would have the patience. You have to had oriental patience to write those ideograms down!

-I have traveled half the world but I hope I can do the other half at some point. So many countries and cultures, so little time!



Background:

- I started as a creative copywriter in the advertising industry. Have also worked as a consultant, Operations Manager, Product Manager and now I am Marketing Director for an online company.

- I also taught creativity for a long time (almost 10 years) at College degree level.

- I started on the advertising world as a copywriter and make it to Creative Director. But I got bored...

- So, early on, I got interested in the online media and become a consultant in that area.

- From time to time I also write articles for different magazines and newspapers.

I have been in the US several times, but I moved to live here in 2003. I enjoy my job mostly because I love the always changing online media. Is a bit more challenging and I love challenges.

I live in SoFla but I don't like it too much..., but I don't care. The world is big enough and I will probably move somewhere else at some point...

From the US, so far, I really enjoyed NYC, San Francisco, Austin and Philly. But there is still a lot to see...

Of course I remember you, "the other" Oscar! Thanks for the compliments and thanks for your hug.

I will try to get your email through Oscar "the first" (he will like that title) to get in touch...

Hi there,
Why are you not blogging anymore?
You are an insightful writer; are you posting somewhere else?

Take care,
